ONE of the most veritable Of all
proverbs Is that which aver that mo
man q tell what the verdict OF a
petit jury will be;' and il received a
notable confirmation yesterday in the
verdict rendered by the Mason jury.

the case, which has been tried before
an able judge, by competent counsel

age intelligence aud responsibility
the fact remains that the verdict a.
rendered was totally unlocked for fy
the public. The Information, whether
truthful or otherwise, that seeps out
from a long closeted jury, took form
late "Wednesday night in the statement
that the jury stood ten for conviction
Of manslsu gbter and two for acquittsl.

who chose 10 pass another night OF
discomfort rather than vacate their

Not longer ago than 1856 mastolon

fitted in the jaws, all missing parts were
restored after the human model. and the

tainly conveyed the notion Of IA hideous,

sponsiblc for many Nightmares. As a
sad commentary on the state Of the med

was perfectly honest in his belief. and to
support his belief he had a trunk full of

The telephone system of Honolulu %
very perfcct-as good as any place in the
world, better than in some. The car
riages for hire are q sort of phaetcn,
with top extending over two seats,
drawn by n horse. The smooth, level
streets, macadamized with coral. enable
one horse to draw four passengers with
ease at a good round gait. The fare is
twenty-five cents for each passenger any
where within the city limits-a liberal
district.
The natives are expert horsemen; they
ride small sized, tough mustangs with
Mexican saddles and lariat at the saddle
bow, at a furious pace. Necessarily they
are the best of swimmers and boatmen.
The whalers say they are excellent sea-
men, and, strange as it may appear, for
those born in the tropics, Withstand the
cold of the Arctic seas. The native
policemen are a fine looking lot of fellows.
They wear white linen caps and panta-
looms. and blue sack coats; with their
swarthy complexion they present a natty
appearance. Withal Honolulu is a quiet
place for a city of 10000 inhabitants

Mobilization of AN Army,

Readiness for mobilization suppOSes three
principal preparations made beforehand in
time OF peace; first, for filling up regiments
and trained; second, for provision of horses
and stores without delay and without stint:
third, for having the horses and stores ex-
actly where they are needed-namely, where
ever the unit which is 10 use them is to be
modified. AS an example, take the great
war of 1870. The Prussian regiments for
first line were all modified in from seven to
eleven DAYS, and this means that they were
in perfect readiness to march and i'll full
poss .SSiOn of their horses, carriages. spare
ammunition and 50 on
The French, on the contrary, though they
had in existence all that was required, had
it not in the right place; so that immense
confusion resulted and the army was not
even ready for defense when the Germans
Were already concentrated for attack on the
French frontier. Yet France had declared
war and ought to have had a good start
The German Landwehr was ready little
later, being fully modified i'll from ten to
fifteen days. improvements since made
enable the German cavalry To be ready al
most instantly, and SOB battalions within
seven days, followed by 800 more on the
eighth or ninth day. In other words little
more than a week would elapse before a
force of nearly 900, 900, with full proportion
of artillery, would Ice completely ready and
provided with every necessity for cam
paign including horses And all this
efficiency is combined with strict economy
because Germany is a military nation -

Florence EImore's Camille"

Perhaps among ALL our stage charac-
tiers, it would be impossible to find two
of the same sex more radically differ
ent than Parthenia and Camille. From
the page of Maria Lowell to that of Du-
mas is a wide step; from the stern virtues
which challenged the admiration of the
pagan philosopher and the skeptical his
iOnable world is a space as wide in the
realm of morals; but not wider than the
chasm which separates the proud soul of
Parthenia from the careless sin, the
merry abandon and the impulsive heart
of Camille. The one has become all of
glorious wOmanhOod possible to her age
and softened race; the other is a butter
fly of the Partisan pave, the gilded orna-
ment of the palace; the petted object of
mans lighter passion as well as the muir
deress OF his heart and soul, present and
future. The one is necessarily French;
the other is only born of the sterner
races.
That Florence ElmOre can be both
Parthenia and Camille, stamps her at
once as the truly versatile daughter of
genius. That we admire and scOrn Ca
mile while we admire and respect Par
thenia, is proof that the personiticatiOn
is complete and the self-forgetfulness
thorough, as it must be to give fine eff
fects ON the stage. From the sin which
touches not the soul to the love which
fOrgets the body, Camille is ever the hu-
gotten by the actress. What is possible
